Catering to special interests has become the modus operandi for the leftist dominated Thornton City Council over the past two years.  Now the liberal elements sitting on the dais are set to pass a resolution backing benefits for illegal immigrants that even U.S. citizens cannot receive. Senate Bill 11-126 has been passed by the Colorado [...]

Some of the debate that has resulted due to Arizona’s new immigration law is pretty amusing.  No comments were more amusing than those of Mexican President Felipe Calderon.  Here is a ‘leader’ whose country is in such poor condition that its residents flee it and whose immigration laws are some of the most repressive in [...]

A new law in Arizona that empowers law enforcement to do the job of the federal government and enforce immigration laws has drawn its share of controversy in the past week.  Now comes Representative Jared Polis with dire warnings saying Arizona may be heading toward a police state akin to Nazi Germany.  In an interview [...]

Congressman Jared Polis has been a champion of education since before his election to office in 2008.  His positions on school choice often put him at odds with the powerful teachers unions.  Now he brews up a new controversy by urging illegal immigrants to seek financial aid for college.

The so-called ‘Tuition Equity’ bill which would have granted in-state tuition to illegal immigrants was defeated in the Colorado State Senate today.  As we wrote about last week, this bill would have required taxpayers to subsidize the education of illegal immigrants, something which is intolerable.  Five Democrats joined with Republicans to send the measure to [...]

What the heck is going on downtown at the Colorado State Capitol these days?  It seems as if our state legislators are absolutely out of control with all sorts of crazy things happening.  First up, we had the School Finance Transparency Act.  This bill was an important measure that would have provided voters and residents important [...]

Ah yes, the Colorado state legislature is in session and you would expect them to be working on truly high priority items.  But, rather than spending time on things like the messed up state budget and our woeful education system, our legislators prefer to spend their time on measures that mean nothing or are simply outrageous.  Two examples [...]

I find this amusing.  Three years ago Denver Mayor Hickenlooper promised the students at Cole Middle School to help them find money to go to college.  Now, as that class gets ready to graduate, the mayor is keeping his promise by obtaining private funds for the students tuition bills.  That isn’t good enough though for [...]
